Wow, you can see my point here. The Big East is like two completely different leagues. Once again, they are the other conference's bitch conference as two members (UConn and Rutgers) joined the ACC in our alternate reality.
Of the remaining Big East football schools, depending on your votes, perhaps one more school will be out, and the conference is down to five schools. In the Big East non-football conference, you already have five schools that don't even have football, one school that refuses to play in the football conference despite playing in FBS, and two other schools that are in FCS and in quite different leagues when looking at the FCS hierarchy (CAA is the best; Patriot not so much). In other words, I think the Big East is getting raided because they at this time aren't forcing their members to be ALL IN or ALL OUT.
Well, now the Big East has decided to BE ALL IN for something. They could decide to be like the other Big Six leagues where all schools must be in football AND everything else. That means saying good bye the Catholic Universities and expanding the conference, maybe from five to eight or five to twelve, that we can decide later. They could also dissolve the football conference completely and side with the Catholic Universities. The con here is that the FBS football schools will be forced to either join one of the remaining Big Five leagues, or make their own league up and hope that league would still get an automatic BCS berth. Well, that league would still in essence be the Big East football conference but this new league isn't affiliated with the Big East anymore.
So what should they do at this point?
